The article focuses on the statement by Dr. Suzanne Hill from Newcastle University, Callagham, New South Wales, Australia that if potential value of high-quality, robust and verified economic valuations for decision-makers is to be realized, several issues need to be addressed. As economic evaluations are simulations, the inputs are discretionary and thus, authors can choose what is presented, points out Dr. Hill. She notes that, as a consequence, errors, incorrect estimates and concerns over bias are created.
